User manual CLARION APX6005 INSTALLATION MANUAL

[. . . ] Protection circuits safeguard the amplifier when overheating, speaker shorts or improper load conditions occur. The main connections and controls are on the end panels and are easy to understand. System configuration switches and signal flow chart are on the bottom panel of the amplifier. [. . . ] Note the system configuration settings. 10 OWNER'S MANUAL OWNER'S MANUAL INSTALLATION This section lists Mounting and Wiring Precautions for installing the Clarion APX600. 5. These safeguards provide enough detail to successfully complete an installation. If you do not have the necessary skills, Clarion recommends consulting your authorized Clarion dealer for installation. MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS Although the Clarion APX600. 5 incorporates heat sinks and protection circuits, mounting the amplifier in a tight space without any air movement can still damage internal circuitry over time. Choose a site that provides adequate ventilation around the amplifier. For easy system set-up, mount the amplifier so the front panel controls will be accessible after installation. For the most efficient cooling, mount the amplifier so cool air runs along the length of the fins rather than across them. Do not install the amplifier on plastic or other combustible materials. Prior to drilling, make sure proposed mounting holes will not cut into the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines (under chassis), or electrical wiring. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your authorized Clarion dealer. Before installation, make sure the source unit Power switch is in the OFF position. APPLICATIONS 2. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power connections. When making connections, be sure that each connection is clean and secure. A secure clean ground connection is critical to the performance of your Clarion amplifier. Use the shortest ground wire possible and securely connect to the car chassis to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems. Add an external fuse on the amplifier's positive (+) power lead and connect it as close as possible to the vehicle's (+) battery terminal. Use a rating that equals the total current consumption at full output of all amplifiers in the system. Adding an external fuse will protect the electrical system from short circuits that can cause a fire. 11 INSTALLATION APX600. 5 Power System Amplifier 6.
